Abstract
A system for preventing computer malware from exfiltrating data from a user computer in a network via the internet. A host-based network process monitor intercepts network traffic information from the user computer and transmits a network request including user and application information including the network traffic information. An authorization server cooperates with the host-based network process monitor for i) verifying whether the user and process in the network request should have network access, and ii) cryptographically signing the intercepted network traffic information with an authorization server key, to authorize network access for the intercepted network traffic information. A firewall system is operably connected to the user computer and the authorization server configured to inspect the network traffic information from the user computer and reject any traffic information not signed with the authorization server key.
